Boiler Cashback Scheme great news, says Ideal Boilers

HULL, U.K. - Feb. 2, 2016 - PRLog -- The Greater London Authority (GLA) scheme, which is open to homeowners and private landlords, could see 6,500 people get £400 off a new, A-rated appliance.

The announcement, which comes during the annual Cold Homes Week, is part of the Mayor’s Climate Change Mitigation and Energy Strategy (CCMES), which aims to slash London’s emissions by 60% by 2025, compared to 1990 levels.

The scheme, which will be administered by the Energy Saving Trust (EST), will give £400 cashback on replacement of a working, 70% or less efficient boiler with a new boiler boasting a minimum efficiency of 90%. All installations must be carried out by Gas Safe registered installers.

People can get full details and apply online at www.london.gov.uk/boilers and if successful will be issued with a cashback voucher, which is valid for 12 weeks.

“This is fantastic news for people living in the London area and our installer customers working there,” said Adam Foy, Ideal’s Head of Product & Marketing.

“Research by the EST shows replacing an old, non-condensing gas boiler with an energy efficient A-rated condensing boiler can cut people’s heating bills by £340 each year. This coupled with a £400 voucher and up to 10 years’ warranty on Ideal’s boilers, will be of significant value to the people of London.

“We hope this scheme will be a huge success and other local authorities across the UK will follow the mayor’s lead.”
